Draco glanced towards the clock then back towards the empty desk of his assistant.

FIVE more seconds, she had five more seconds until...

Yes half eight she was late. Triumph he finally had a reason for his father to get fire her.

He had warned her that he couldn't stand tardiness. Oh he wished he could be there to see the look on her face when she was sacked. Miss I think I am so special wasn't so much now was she.

He double checked for any missed messages, it wouldn't do so well in his favour if she'd let them know she was sick. There was nothing she had no excuse good. He paces towards his fathers office entering without knocking first.

Coming face to face with his father and his own assistant looking into files on his fathers desk.

The noise of the door banging brings his fathers attention up with a snap.

'Draco was there something you wanted?'

'I'm sorry I barged in father I was looking for Miss Potter.'

'Miss Potter do you not think you have a desk to be getting to. You are already late,' he addressed her.

Before his own assistant is able to answer him though, his father stepped in.

'That is my fault Draco I asked Harry if she wouldn't mind helping me today. In fact I may need her all week if these files are anything to go by.'

What could he say to that? This had not what he had been expecting when he came here this morning.

'Very well. I'll be in my department should you need me.'

'Oh Draco before you go, you should know that Auror Weasley will be posted on Harry's desk while she is helping me.'

'You put on the Auror on her desk why?'

'He needed somewhere to work and hers was available.'

Damn him Draco wasn't sure what was worse having to put up with his irritating new assistant or the annoying Auror Weasley.

This had not what he had been expecting when he arrived this morning. It was going to be a long day and it was only eight thirty five.
